BIOGRAPHY:
A painter and sculptor who was largely self-taught, although showing signs of a culture of European breadth - he made numerous trips and sojourns abroad, in particular to London and Holland, as well as showing his work in galleries in Europe and New York. Throughout his career he was deeply tied to his city of origin, Novara, where for many years and until 1961 his attic studio in via Pier Lombardo was the lively meeting place of an active cultural scene embracing painters, sculptors, musicians, poets, journalists and others.An artist of notable sensibility, Poletti registers a constant change of atmosphere and artistic language over the course of his long career. His early works, which date to the middle of the twenties, are influenced by the novecentist feel that between the third and fourth decades of the century represent one of the major lines of figurative painting in Italy and Europe. Poletti adhered to it with his own personal approach that seemed to echo on occasions Achille Funi, Mario Tozzi or Gisberto Ceracchini, without ever being completely assimilated to them.
